A person who feels neither sexual nor romantic attraction to anybody - and is therefore aromantic asexual, or 'aroace' - but experiences an attraction which is strong enough to be recognized as an orientation.
There could be, for example, straight, bi, or gay aroaces.

A: "I... think I like you."
B: "Huh? I thought you were aromantic asexual?"
A:"Sure! But that doesn't mean I'm not attracted to people in any way... I'm an oriented aroace, and I think I have a squish (aromantic asexual crush) on you."

An Oriented AroAce is an AroAce person who identifies with another orientation label in a nonromantic, nonsexual way. For example, Oriented AroAce’s may identify as a Pan AroAce, Bi AroAce, Lesbian AroAce, or Gay AroAce, etc. Other attractions that an Orientated AroAce May feel could be: Alterous Attraction, Aesthetic Attraction, Emotional Attraction, Platonic Attraction, QueerPlatonic Attraction, Sensual Attraction (eg hugs from ppl are nice), etc.
Koko: “Hey, btw I’m Orientated AroAce. That means I still don’t feel romantic and sexual attraction, but I feel other attractions. I feel Aesthetic, Alterous, Platonic, and Qplatonic”.
Kai: “Ah cool, I’ve never heard the term until now. Which way do you swing on the non-romo non-sexual attrac scale?”
Koko: “Oh, I’m Pan AroAce”
Kai: “I’ll always support you”.

A person who supports harmful stereotypes about aromantic and/or asexual individuals and created a meaningless and useless label.
They're oriented aroace, so it's probably just some attention seeker who uses a dozen of labels as if they're medals.
